She was taught the world was small, that it's all dirt and dust
Sunday school and country songs, things a girl can trust
She learnt her lesson well, she played her part
Those back roads couldn't give what was missing in her heart

You can make love staring at the stars
From the cold back seat of a beat up car
But there's only so far that a small town girl can go
When the sun comes up it's still the same old sun
'Cuz the moon don't hang out on border town road

She thinks of all the reasons why she outta stay right here
A river that runs deep and wide, a sky that's always clear
She knows she can live her life just to watch those seasons change
What's she supposed to do with those relentless dreams?

You can make love staring at the stars
From the cold back seat of a beat up car
But there's only so far that a small town girl can go
When the sun comes up it's still the same old sun
'Cuz the moon don't hang out on border town road

In her room she packs her clothes to the glow of a distant light
She knows the moon is shining somewhere on the other side

You can make love staring at the stars
From the cold back seat of a beat up car
But there's only so far that a small town girl can go
When the sun comes up it's still the same old sun
'Cuz the moon don't hang out on border town road

Hey, on border town road
